Open in Illustrator will create a PDF and then attempt to open it up in Adobe Illustrator. By default, QXPMarkz uses the Default Version of Illustrator as seen by your Mac Computer.
If you wish to force a PDF to be opened in a specific version of Illustrator, you will need to set up a mini workflow under the Export PDF icon or you could set up a workflow under the Automation Preferences area as well.
